WINX COULD START COX PLATE FAVOURITE

Mighty mare Winx has been singled out by punters and continues to firm in betting for Saturday’s Cox Plate.

Winx has firmed from $7.00 into $6.00 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

The Chris Waller trained mare is equal second favourite with Criterion and slightly ahead of stablemate Kermadec ($7.50).

Irish invader Highland Reel heads the market on $5.50, but he is not receiving a lot of support.

“Winx is the one the punters have come for. She is by far the best supported and holds more than double the money than Criterion. At this stage Highland Reel does not have many admirers and is about fifth in pecking order,’’ said sportsbet.com.au’s Will Byrne.
